POPCORN CRAFTS FOR KIDS: How to make arts and crafts projects with popcorn kernels with these activities for children, preschoolers, and teens

Popcorn, its really neat. Fun to make and fun to eat. Its also fun to make handy dandy kids popcorn crafts out of. First step, pop some corn. Second step eat a little bit of popcorn. Third step refrain from buttering and salting your popcorn. This third step is really important. Of course for the obvious reason of not getting your craft covered in greasy buttery goodness but also because it will definitely make it easier to resist constantly popping the kernels into your mouth. If you do salt and butter it, before you know it there won't be any more popcorn to make your kid's popcorn craft out of. That, my friend would be a might big shame

serenade the gods as a reminder that rain is welcomed. Rainsticks are
traditionally made from hollow cactus wood, thorns and pebbles. Our
version is made from a cardboard tube, tinfoil and popcorn kernels.

Rainstick - - Rainsticks are ceremonial musical instruments used to invoke the
rain spirits. They are made by people who live in the deserts of
northern Chile. In Chile, rainsticks are traditionally made from dead
cactus tubes with hundreds of cactus spines hammered into the tube.
Tiny lava pebbles cascade gently through the tube, sounding much like
rain.

Varnished
Popcorn - Popcorn is unique in that it is both a delicious snack and also a
holiday decoration. One solution to this popcorn problem is to
varnish the strands after creating them. Not only will this make the
popcorn durable and inedible, it will also make the popcorn strands
last for years to come.
